OpenAI seems to have realized that LLM-supported coding is one of the biggest markets right now.

Purchasing one of the most popular IDEs together with Cursor tells a lot about the companies strategy.

While I personally do not use Windsurf anymore because of their stupid pricing with tool-tokens and text-tokens, let‘s see if OpenAI will be able to integrate it to their product suite in a different way with the existing $20 subscription.

Are you still using Windsurf? If not, what would be necessary to win you back as a user?
